BREAKOUT & RETEST TRADING: Breakout and Retest: A Rules-Based Trading Strategy

Rather than treating every move beyond support or resistance as a trading signal, this book builds a structured decision process:

Context → Level → Break → Acceptance → Retest → Trigger → Invalidation → Target → Risk → Execution.

Readers learn how to identify market levels worth trading, distinguish genuine breakouts from temporary price excursions, evaluate compression and expansion, understand liquidity around key levels, recognize shallow and deep retests, and use role reversal without assuming that an old resistance level must automatically become support.

The book also examines breakout quality, close and follow-through, volume and participation, overextended moves, entry models, stop placement, target selection, reward-to-risk, false breakouts, failed retests, volatility shocks, and situations where the correct decision is simply not to trade.

A major focus is placed on turning visual chart recognition into testable rules. Dedicated chapters explain risk per trade, position sizing, setup grading, backtesting, forward testing, trading journals, and the development of a personal Breakout & Retest playbook.

The visual appendix reinforces the complete process through chart-driven educational infographics covering key levels, genuine versus false breakouts, acceptance and rejection, retest quality, entry logic, structural invalidation, targets, risk management, setup filtering, and disciplined execution.

Designed for traders who want to replace impulsive breakout chasing with a repeatable analytical process, Breakout & Retest Trading emphasizes observable evidence, predefined rules, disciplined risk control, and decisions that can be reviewed and tested.

Educational purposes only. Trading involves risk, and no strategy or setup can guarantee future results.
